Erased

1988, Chiba. A squeal of tires. Satoru, a pizza cook, possesses a grim gift: involuntary time-jumps to avert disaster. When his mother is murdered, Satoru leaps back to his childhood, just before the kidnapping of a young classmate. A nifty premise elevates this above routine J-thriller fare.
